Lobbyist Releases Decades-Old DOJ Records Alleging Tinubu’s Drug Links to Trump Administration and Congress
A US-based lobbying firm linked to former vice-president Atiku Abubakar has sent historical Department of Justice records to the Trump administration and members of Congress. The files date back to a 1988–1991 federal probe into a Nigeria-based heroin trafficking network. The documents allege that proceeds from the operation were deposited into bank accounts controlled by President Bola Tinubu. A two-page chronology summarises these claims and names Tinubu alongside two associates. The lobbying firm says it will provide the complete set of court filings, affidavits and federal court decisions to senior US officials. This disclosure follows an April ruling by a US judge ordering the FBI, DEA, IRS and CIA to release records on Tinubu’s alleged investigation. President Tinubu has consistently denied any involvement in drug trafficking.
